Butcher, Baker, Candlestick-Maker

Society is built on the backs of people who gather resources and turn them into food, shelter, and finished goods. Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics looks at the lot of ordinary TL0-4 folk – much of which is of concern to adventurers, too! Contents include:

Food. How to gather and prepare it, whether you're raising crops or hunting game on the way to your next adventure.

Domesticated Animals. Stats for common beasts as sources of both labor and food.

Manufacturing. Work out how long it takes to make that nifty new sword and how much it costs – and learn secrets that would make it better!

Construction. Detailed rules for erecting buildings of all sorts, from log cabins to Gothic cathedrals.

Transportation. Guidelines for hauling and shipping almost anything, with stats for low-tech merchant vessels.

Occupations. Details about many common jobs, complete with new Professional Skills and practical advice on thriving as a merchant.

If you're not satisfied with fantasy worlds where nobody gets his hands dirty and everything is for sale at the market, then Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics is for you.

Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics is a supplement to GURPS Low-Tech. The information on manpower, manufacturing, and resources would be useful in any campaign that values historical realism.

When a toiling populace daydreams, its thoughts can turn to gear, equipment, and achievements that are (as far as we know) impossible. See GURPS Fantasy-Tech 1: The Edge of Reality for more possibilities of what could have been.
